I FULLY support the Poppy Day appeal and all that it represents. We should never forget the contribution made by so many towards the freedom of our country.

All families have been touched by the tragic loss of life during conflict at some point in time and we must continue to assist the Royal British Legion in their unfailing endeavours to support the ex-servicemen and women and their dependants.

I know that the people of this country will give their support to this year's Appeal.
